Sow's Ear Winery

Sow's Ear Winery in Brooksville, Maine is a small, intimate operation on the Blue Hill Peninsula, one of the most scenic and culturally rich areas on the Maine coast. Rated 4.0 by its early visitors, it's built a quiet reputation among those who take the time to find it. Brooksville is the kind of town that doesn't advertise itself, but rewards visitors who venture off the more trafficked coastal routes. A winery visit here feels personal and unhurried in a way that larger operations can't replicate.

Sow's Ear offers wine tastings rooted in the character of the Blue Hill Peninsula, where the pace is slow and the surroundings do a lot of the work. Visitors can sample wines made in the Maine tradition, likely featuring fruit varieties suited to the region's short growing season. The winery's small scale suggests a hands-on, owner-present experience where you're tasting with the people who made the wine. Bottles are available to purchase, and the setting lends itself to the kind of unhurried conversation that makes a small winery visit genuinely memorable.

Sow's Ear Winery is located in Brooksville, Maine, on the Blue Hill Peninsula in Hancock County. It draws visitors from Blue Hill, Castine, Sedgwick, and the surrounding peninsula communities.
